I mean c’mon, who doesn’t want to imagine a t-rex with that kind of plumage? I had to draw it. Here’s the quicky 15 minute sketch I did right away.

Ok, good, I thought, got that out of my system, now on to other things. But, the image stuck in my head and my quick little sketch became less satisfying. The feathers just weren’t luxurious enough, and I’d drawn one of the arms at a weird angle that didn’t make sense. I could do better.

And so here’s the version of my t-rex-of-paradise that I polished up instead of watching the Vice-Presidential debate. I feel like this was a good life choice and regret nothing.

Now just imagine the dinosaur doing the same kind of dance moves as the birds-of-paradise. This thought has given me entertainment for days.
